"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the show might like to give fans some hope that Kit Harrington's character Jon Snow is still alive despite the brutal stabbing he endured during season 5, but Maisie Williams, who plays Snow's half-sister Arya Stark is having none of that.
"That's what this show does. And if you haven't learned that by now, well then I can't help you," she said, according to Vanity Fair. Williams does not believe that there's anything more to discuss with regards to Harrington's appearance in Belfast, where they are shooting the show, or about his currently thick mane, which the actor was forced to maintain for his role as Snow.
When asked if she was definitely certain that Snow is dead and would not be returning, she answered: "We saw him get stabbed a lot in the chest, like, I think that's pretty clear. If it makes you feel better, then, yes there's hope but... there's no hope."
But even though Williams has employed a "tough love" approach to fans with regards to Snow's death, many still refused to believe her, believing that the actress is just using some of the lying tricks she learned from another "Game of Thrones" character Jaqen H'ghar.
Plus, when asked about Arya's blind fate in season 6, Williams said that she does not know anything yet since she hasn't been given a script.
"I haven't got the new scripts yet," she said. "So I sti-well, I'm guessing that she's still blind... I hope she's still a total (expletive) even when she's blind. It might take a few episodes to get there but I think she's still got that on lock."
Many are counting on the fact that Williams' lack of knowledge with regards to season 6 only means that she does not know what she's saying when she deemed Snow as officially dead.
In the books written by George R. R. Martin, Arya goes blind but only temporarily, since her blindness only takes up one chapter in "A Dance with Dragons." In it, Arya recalls training while she was blind, so it means that Arya in the show might have to endure blindness for maybe around one or two episodes only. However, since the show departed from the books starting with season 5, showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff might think it's a better idea if Arya stays blind a bit longer.
